Altered Wind-Up Toys (or Robot Cosmetic Mods) Make-Along on April 22
Come join us for a class! Tickets are available on Eventbrite.
This is not your typical craft class. Make-Along is a self-guided craft workshop where participants learn new skills, explore new materials, and make great things!
Aprils’s Topic: Altered Wind–Up Toys! (or Robot Cosmetic Mods)
Have you always wanted to literally make a new friend? Do toys that move delight you? Come and we’ll teach you how to modify a wind–up toy to give it a unique personality. So no matter your skill level or approach, you’ll bring home a one-of-a-kind re-styled toy! If you have a robot that could use a makeover, this would also be an excellent time to glam it up.
Are you a beginner? We’ll provide a wind–up toy, paints, glues, googly eyes, accessories, and lots of inspiration!
Are you a master? Show off your skills and inspire others! Bring a project, use our materials, and hang out in a great space while doing what you love.

So today was the Crochet Make-Along 101 class, aka let’s make cute monsters. It’s part of a series of classes: once a month, we have a Make-Along class (March is how to make egg dioramas).
I sat knitting quietly in the corner (aka unpicking lots of rows and swearing gently under my breath) as about 15 people, all absolute beginners, giggled and wowed their way through making these:
They were all beginners. It took me forever to learn how to crochet last month; this class learnt crochet stitches, used them (“magic circles!”) and created these monsters in less than 3 hours. Well done class!
Favourite quotes: “Let’s pick up the poop one”, “He’s so cute”, “it went great”.
Here are all the NYC Resistor classes (soft and otherwise). NYC Resistor also has a public slack group (contact [email protected] to be invited), including a knitting and crochet channel (#pkptransistor).

Your instructor will take you through key concepts of 3D printing, demo the technology on our printers, and lead the class through the design process of creating a model and preparing it to print.
